Many of you have found How Bourgeois while searching for information on going gray! I'm a proud "preemie" in gray-hair terms. Premature graying runs in my family, so it wasn't surprising to find some grays during my early 20's. After ten years of coloring my hair, a uneasy feeling about the chemicals used in dye, and most of all, worsening allergic reactions, I finally decided to stop and just let my natural color grow! It's been quite an amazing 7+ year journey and I love sharing it with all of YOU! You can find my gray-hair related posts by clicking HERE. They're also under the tab heading at the top of my home page labeled: "All Of My Gray Hair Posts."

Some posts on How Bourgeois will have Amazon "affiliated links" to products that I personally love and use and want share. I've signed up for Amazon's affiliate program. This means, should you happen to interact with my product links (HONESTLY, ZERO PRESSURE TO DO SO) and purchase that specific product or any other product on Amazon in the following 24 hours, I will receive a small percentage of Amazon's profit as my "referral fee."

The reason that I am doing this is because the blog is my heart and soul, but it has also become like a mini-part-time job over the past ten years, outside of my regular housewife and Mom work. As How Bourgeois has grown in its following and on some of my social media sites, I am spending quite a larger chunk of time trying to compose posts, reply to every email and comment and tending to my social media. I'm trying Amazon's referral program because I want to keep blogging rather than having to take time away to find other ways to pitch-in, and to justify the time I'd like to put into How Bourgeois!

Here is my promise to you. I promise to never ever EVER link to or promote a product that I do not personally believe in and recommend from experience. Any time that I use an Amazon affiliated link, it will always be organically used, something I want to tell you about, not merely a random product placement. You have my word that I will ALWAYS be upfront and honest with you and will ALWAYS let you know ahead of time when a post has an affiliated link. Integrity and transparency and respect are top on my list, and I wouldn't want it any other way both in my life and on this blog.

Hi Lauren, your blog is very nice.We arrives looking young women with gray hair, always have the fear to see us better if we let the gray hair, and you add to instagram, flickr, etc, lol hope to see your photos to encourage me to grow my hair out of paint is very difficult hahahaha the moment you start to see the growth and part of the hair is brown, maybe I can cut your hair and go faster the process :) Congratulations for your blog. Greetings from Mexico. Gaby Andrade

Love your blog. I'm at a turning point, having hit the big 60 I am ready to reinvent myself and let the gray grow! My friends are not supportive. I'm trying to see if I can do this w products to temporarily cover or try for lowlights to help me through the dreaded skunk stage. I am at nine weeks and nervous. I wish people would not be so judgemental. I'm married for 34 years, had a very successful career in the music business, now a first time grandma to twin boys, but sick and tired of the every three week run for color cover. As I enter my new season of life I'd like to just be able to embrace myself for who I am not, what I look, or looked like. No easy way out but through I guess...wearing thick headbands and turban wraps since I'm pretty boho anyway. I guess hats will be in order but Califrnia really doesn't get that cold! I have very thick curly hair. Coming in salt and cocoa ish. How can I control my life when I Can't control my hair!! Renée

Hi Lauren, I came across your blog several weeks ago when I was searching what all I could find on 'going gray'. I've decided to let my natural grays grow and can't wait to see what it'll become! I didn't realize you live in Detroit. We moved from the Detroit area 10 years ago (Lincoln Park) to California. I'd love to stay connected as I begin putting together a new blog :)
